- 2020 Club Atlético River Plate 87 10

Exequiel Palacios, nicknamed ‘Pala’, who joined Bayer 04 at the start of 2020, had an outstanding first six months at Leverkusen. He missed the first three league games due to a suspension from his time at River Plate. After that he was a victim of the good Bayer 04 performances at that stage of the season. There are no doubts about the quality of the midfielder who won the Copa Libertadores – the South American equivalent of the Champions League – with River Plate in 2018. Palacios combines aggressive play against the ball with creative ability. The jersey number 25, once worn by Bernd Schneider, is an incentive for him: "It's an honour and responsibility to wear this jersey."
